Hello Chang’an

Fang Chao was convinced by the word "chief coach" and felt ashamed of himself.

He maintained the gesture of clasping his fists and saluting for a long time, until the captain officially announced that Chang Sui Ning was the winner.

The cheers all around were overwhelming, like a fire, igniting this New Year's Eve, making it destined to be imprinted in everyone's memory and unforgettable.

Coach Fang Da, as his defeated general, did not feel that the cheers were harsh or embarrassing, because he also received goodwill.

It is difficult for people who are favored by kindness to develop sharp anger.

At this moment, he even more sincerely believed than those onlookers that the girl deserved these cheers.

Looking at the figure that clasped its fists in salute and had not moved for a long time, like a sculpture, Xiao Min and Chang Kuo said with emotion: "Ms. Chang is so kind..."

Although she lost the last game, she won more things that could not be won through the word "win".

And the opponent's words of "chief coach" carry more weight than coming from the mouth of a cheap coach like him.

This means that in the future, as the commander-in-chief of this 170,000-strong army, Mrs. Chang's orders will be unimpeded.

In the midst of the crowd, Coach Fang, who was hanging his head in shame, saw the girl walking towards him in crow-green boots.

There were many people surrounding him at the same time, but Fang Chao could only see that one person at the moment. She raised her hand and helped him up: "There are many offenses today, don't blame Coach Fang."

"No...it's Fang who should apologize." Fang Chao straightened up and asked apologetically, "I wonder if I hurt Mrs. Chang just now?"

Chang Sui Ning smiled: "It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."

Seeing this smile, Fang Chao felt even more ashamed. He wished he could give himself a slap in the face. Looking at others, and then looking back at himself, he was losing more than just superficial things.

He could only say with shame: "It's Fang's men who have lost their importance..."

"After the competition, it is understandable that my skills are not as good as others." Chang Sui Ning said: "I am weak. I hope that Coach Fang will give me more guidance in the future."

At this moment, there were several circles of people around. The girl's voice was not low, open and clear. She did not shy away from her own shortcomings and did not hesitate to acknowledge and elevate others.

In other words, Chang Suining knew what he wanted from the beginning.

She doesn't want to compete with others, she just wants to break the stereotypes that are not good for her.

Therefore, it is enough to break the prejudices, but there is no need to break the dignity and spine of others.

The other party is not her enemy, at least not right now.

Now they are colleagues.

In her place, there has never been a rule of waiting to kill all the comrades, and such a rule will not be allowed in the future, so she must set an example.

Moreover, this discussion was prompted by her irritating the other party. In a sense, she stood at a higher angle. She could see the whole picture and the result, but the other party did not know.

Since she had the upper hand, she should have lost the game to the opponent. Otherwise, she would be too unkind.

At this point, some of the coaches also realized belatedly the purpose of the girl who knew she was weak and inferior to others, but insisted on competing in the final round.

"Earlier, I was blinded by my blindness, and my words were very offending... Please forgive me, Mrs. Chang!"

“…”

They all bowed their heads to the girl and apologized.

People's hearts are different, whether they are sincere, follow the footsteps of Coach Fang, or have to bow their heads to weigh the pros and cons in the future, but no matter what, Chang Suining's goal has been achieved.

She raised her hand with a smile: "We don't know each other until we get to know each other. Thank you very much for your kindness. I will ask you to give me more care when we work together in the future."

"Ms. Chang's words are serious!"

"I'm going to trouble Mrs. Chang. Please forgive me for my stupidity." Instructor Fang Da's voice was rough, and the shame on his face was still there. Only by comparison can one judge the superiority and inferiority. The performance just now made him understand. The real reason why Hezhou was able to repel Xu's army in the first place.

The soldiers they are leading now...are indeed a mess and cannot be used for much purpose.

But two hundred soldiers are easy to train, and it is not easy to reorganize the army of 170,000 inside and outside.

Chang Sui Ning also knows this very well, so he must work together as one, so that it will be meaningful to form a good relationship and have a good relationship with his subordinates in the future.

She immediately paid some attention to her future subordinate, and also to satisfy her curiosity: "Is this year the year of your zodiac, Coach Fang?"

She looked at Fang Chao's dark red cotton-padded clothes exposed under her torn robe.

After Fang Chao was stunned for a moment, he took a look and said with some disbelief, "Exactly."

"If Coach Fang had told me earlier, I should have given up the red feather arrow to Coach Fang." Chang Sui Ning said sincerely.

Vice General Jin, who had squeezed to the front, laughed "haha" when he heard this: "If this is the case, Coach Fang might be able to win!"

Fang Chao had no choice but to laugh. Not to mention the mere blessing of red feather arrows, even if his 18th generation ancestors came to help him tonight, he would not be able to win.

However, when talking about these mysterious things, Fang Chao suddenly thought of something.

After this year, he turned forty-eight. When he was about to go to war, his mother had personally sewed a red cotton coat and trousers for him, and asked him to wear it on New Year's Eve. She repeatedly told him that as long as he was still alive, You must wear it then.

Just because his mother found a Taoist to calculate it for him, he will have a hurdle at the age of forty-eight, so he should not be competitive and bow his head when it is time to bow. If he crosses this hurdle, there will be noble people to help him. , there will still be opportunities to make great achievements in the future.

He was dubious about it.

But at this moment, Fang Chao looked at his red cotton coat, and then at the girl in front of him...

It can't be that...his Kan'er and this noble man are both here?

Fang Chao was thoughtful.

"Sister Shepherd's Purse... are there any dumplings left?" A teacher asked loudly and smiled at the shepherd's purse and the others who were walking over.

Shepherd's Purse glanced around the atmosphere, and when she saw Chang Suining with a smile on her face, she also showed a hearty smile: "Since everyone calls me eldest sister, I have to have it if I don't have one!"

She is not a fussy person, and she doesn't understand anything else, but she will be polite to anyone who is polite to a girl.

On the other hand, if anyone dares to be rude to the girl, neither her mouth nor her knife will agree!

Everyone laughed and the atmosphere became harmonious.

Soon another hot dumpling was served.

Chang Kuo and Xiao Min did not return to the camp, but took advantage of the atmosphere to drink with the soldiers around the campfire.

"It's so delicious. These dumplings are as delicious as those made by my mother!"

"As the saying goes...pair dumplings with wine, the more you drink, the better!"

Zhu Jiaotou picked up the wine bowl: "Ms. Chang, I respect you! I just apologize!"

Then a coach eagerly wanted to pour wine for Chang Sui Ning.

Chang Suining smiled and declined: "Thank you, I can't drink."

Everyone just thought that the little girl was not a good drinker, and they were about to persuade her to just take one sip, when they heard the little girl explain: "I'm not a good drinker. I will arrest people and beat them up when I'm drunk."

"..." Everyone was slightly startled, and their hair stood up unconsciously.

The competition just now was still in front of his eyes, which made these words particularly intimidating.

Sure enough, no one dared to say another word. The instructor who poured the wine quickly stopped and took the bowl back, not daring to let her taste a drop.

"I can testify!" A Dian, who was sitting next to Chang Suining, raised his hand for fear that others would not believe him: "Xiao Jing was... uh uh uh!"

Yuanxiang's eyes were quick and he covered his mouth.

A Dian stared at him with wide eyes in confusion.

Yuan Xiang grinned and asked: "General Dian, guess what the filling of this dumpling is?"

Seeing A Dian's eyes rolling, Yuan Xiang let go of his hand. A Dian raised his chin: "I know! It's stuffed dumplings!"

Yuan Xiang gave a thumbs up in surprise: "...General Dian is really a prodigy!"

A Dian was extremely proud.

Good-natured laughter sounded again all around.

He would rather not drink alcohol than usual, so he would drink tea instead and drink it with everyone.

There were indeed many people who wanted to respect her. One after another, others drank a lot of wine, while she drank a lot of tea.

The soldiers did not indulge too much. After all, they were on the march. Even though it was New Year's Eve, they must not lose their vigilance.

After retaining enough soldiers to guard and patrol during the night, the remaining people returned to the camp to rest.

Fang Chao was the last one to leave. Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask Chang Suining for confirmation: "There is something that Fang doesn't understand...Ms. Chang's horse riding, shooting, swordsmanship, and spear are all astonishing. In addition to her talent, she must also need Chang Suining in private." Practicing hard...If that's the case, then why is Mrs. Chang's strength so weak?"

As an experienced head coach, he had repeatedly fought against Chang Suining, so he was more keen on such matters than ordinary people. He thought about it again and again, but could not come up with an answer.

"Kung Fu is gained through hard training. As for the lack of strength..." Chang Sui Ning said as he walked: "That's because I had a serious illness last spring."

Fang Chao understood: "So that's it..."

It makes sense that a serious illness will weaken a person's strength, but the skills learned in prison will not be lost.

"It doesn't matter. Madam Chang is so talented. As long as she practices diligently and given time, she will be able to regain her strength." Fang Chao said with relief.

Chang Suining smiled and nodded: "I think so too."

She will get back everything she once had, not just her strength.

Now, she was going to meet her former A Dian.

…

On the other side, Xiao Min just came out of Chang Kuo's tent. He had just sent Chang Kuo back. Of course, it was not because Chang Kuo was drunk, but to facilitate the discussion.

The camps of Chang Suining and A Dian were at the left and right sides of Chang Kuo's tent. At this moment, Xiao Muncha met Chang Suining.

Chang Suining raised his hand: "Coach Xiao."

"Ms. Chang." Xiao Min came over and said in an admiring tone, "Ms. Chang really opened Xiao's eyes today."

At this point, he finally got a chance to speak. Previously, Chang Suining was surrounded by people. In order to maintain a sense of majesty, he, the coach, had no choice but to push forward with the dumplings in hand.

When he got the opportunity, he no longer concealed his exclamation and admiration. After boasting a lot, he sighed at the end: "Fortunately, Madam Chang is extremely talented, so that Her Majesty the late Crown Prince's marksmanship will not be lost..."

Chang Sui Ning vaguely realized that he had probably heard something that she didn't even know, so she just nodded without saying anything.

Xiao Min said no more: "Ms. Chang must be tired too. Go back and rest quickly."

Chang Suining raised his hand and said, "Coach Xiao, walk slowly."

Xiao Min left accompanied by a lieutenant beside him.

After walking for a while, the deputy general sighed: "Why does the coach lower himself to be so attentive to a little girl..."

Xiao Min paused and looked at him with a frown: "Where do you start talking about this?"

"I don't have any other intentions. I just feel that if you treat me like this for a long time, I am afraid that the Chang family and his daughter will not be able to see your identity... Nowadays, the hearts of the military are biased towards their father and daughter. If you also Such indulgence and praise for them... In time, who will remember that the coach's surname is Xiao and not Chang? "

Looking at the solemn expression of the deputy general, Xiao Min was silent for a while and asked seriously: "Is deputy general Dong drunk?"

Otherwise, why speak nonsense?

Vice General Dong was startled for a moment and then spoke again: "Commander, subordinates..."

"Okay, I have a sense of discretion in my mind. Since you have drunk too much, go back and rest."

After speaking, Xiao Min patted his shoulder and walked away.

Vice General Dong looked at the departing figure and felt uncertain for a moment.

If he could understand it thoroughly, he would know that what Xiao Min must do every day is to check himself three times before going to bed.

—Have you made enough progress today?

—Facing General Chang and Lady Chang today, will I listen to their advice?

—Have you made mistakes in your words and deeds today? Are there any signs of repeating Li Yi's mistakes?

Only after repeatedly making sure that everything was on the right path and had not gone astray, he dared to close his eyes and sleep peacefully.

He was a cheap coach who picked it up while standing. What is the credit? He was established while lying down. He didn't do anything, but he just wanted prestige and people's hearts. If you can think so, why don't you go to heaven?

Oh, there is one like this in front of me, and it is already in the sky now.

Xiao Min thinks that he has no great skills, but he only has self-awareness.

If not for this opportunity, there would be no one available in the court, and the empress would easily refuse to trust others, how would he have the chance to take up the position of commander-in-chief?

How could we have the opportunity to travel with a real person like General Chang?

As for the Chang family's wife, although she is young, she is already famous and is a real person.

He is lucky enough to be with such a person, it is destiny, and it is too late to take advantage of the opportunity to make progress, so why bother targeting him? He can't do that kind of thankless and life-consuming stupidity, whoever wants to do it.

Xiao Min returned to the camp and continued to examine himself.

…

Before Chang Suining came to A Dian's tent, Yuan Xiang was accompanying A Dian here.

A Dian was particularly energetic tonight. While waiting for Chang Suining to come back, he did not forget to educate Yuan Xiang: "...I told you that little A Li can win, Yuan Xiang, don't be so shameless next time!"

Yuan Xiang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and he responded repeatedly.

"I can give you a chance to correct it." A Dian said politely: "I won't tell little A Li this time...but I won't do it next time."

Yuan Xiang scratched his head: "Then thank you, General."

At this time, A Dian finally yawned.

When Yuan Xiang saw this, he said goodbye and went back, agreeing to come back tomorrow to look for A Dian.

After Yuan Xiang left, Ah Che persuaded Ah Dian to sleep. Ah Dian shook his head and still sat cross-legged, yawning and rubbing his eyes: "No, I have to wait for little Ah Li to finish his business."

But his eyelids were a bit unruly. He sat there and began to nod off and doze off.

Not long after, he noticed a pair of slightly cold hands covering his eyes from behind him.

With a little jolt, I woke up immediately.

"Guess who I am?" the girl's voice asked mysteriously.

"Of course I know, little A Li!"

However, that familiar voice came back to him—

"That's not right."

It’s been a long time since I asked for a monthly ticket. Have you forgotten about me? (A Dian burst into tears)

Good night!
